  1. Excellent pizza. I loved the tomato base with the Italian dressing mix of veggies. I didn't use the carrot and probably won't use the asparagus next time. Endless possibilites for this pizza and you can probably use any veggie mix that you want. Used my recipe #178900 for the crust. Thanks Paula.
     
  2. I made this with a homemade crust with basil and garlic salt in it. I skipped the garlic, mushrooms, broccoli, and parmesan and used green peppers in with the carrot, onion, and asparagus. It came out wonderfully, I've never cooked anything in Italian dressing so I used only a couple tablespoons, with some olive oil and water, but I think the dressing really enhanced the flavor of the veges. Definitely will make again!
     
  3. Used this recipe for the Italian Kitchen Challenge for ZWT 2006. To make the pizza I used a garlic press, pizza peel and baked it on a pizza stone. The results were wonderful! Since DH doesn't like asparagus or broccoli (I know, boring) I left them off. Actually made two pizzas, this one and a cheese and pepperoni for him ... guess which one disappeared first!
     
  4. Delicious! I made as stated using my own boboli pizza crust recipe#86074, I omitted the carrots and increased the mozza cheese, this is a little extra work, but well worth it, it's a nice change from the regular tomato sauce pizza, thanks Paula!...Kitten:)

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
